The 29-year-old Parks and Recreation actress gave birth on Friday (August 16) at 7:45pm and the baby weighed in at 9lbs, 8oz.

“I’ve been a part of some pretty incredible experiences in my life, but I’ve never been a part of something so surreal, so life affirming and so insanely beautiful as watching my son come into this world,” the 36-year-old NCIS: Los Angeles actor said in a statement. “It was this watershed moment where I knew that everything I valued before seems finite and temporary.”

“Sarah wanted to do a natural birth at home and she fought through 17 hours of intense labor before we finally got to meet Wyatt,” Eric added. “I can only take stock in how lucky I am to have this amazing, powerful, woman in my life, and a beautiful new son.”

“Going to a party celebrating 40 yrs of The Young & The Restless tomorrow. Great time to announce I watched religiously from ’89 – ’95,” Stephentweeted. “Something strange about the gravitational pull of people you watched as a kid. Stood next to Eric Braeden tonight and almost pissed myself.”
